Beavis Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 On my EA82, the dome light works when I turn it on manually, but not when I open the doors. Has anybody else experienced this? How did you fix it? And yes, I've tried the switch on both positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Lots of wiggling on the switches on the door jam usually cleans the contacts so they start working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subi81 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The door switches went bad on my 86 t wagon so my dome light would not shut off. Had to relace driver and pass side. Maybe you are experiencing the opposite effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishy75 Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Take off the cover and make sure both of the mounting screws are there. One of the screws (I think the rear one) touch a metal plate which I think is part of the circuit. I had the same problem - put in a screw (cause it was missing) and it fixed it.

Microracer Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Ok now I have just to opposite. Doors open=light on, but you can't get the light on with the dimmer wheel on the dash. Think a little contact clraner will fix me up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 You could try it on the dimmer switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 You can turn the dome light on with the dimmer switch in an Ea82 style car? Thats news to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I don't remember being able to do that on my EA81? But then again, I don't remember a lot of things.... Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
